Ingredients
2
pounds
of fresh figs
¾
cup
cane sugar
you can also use granulated sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1
tsp
lemon zest
1
tsp
vanilla
¼
cup
water
1
cinnamon stick
Instructions
Wash and cut the figs into quarters.
Zest the lemon, then cut in half to press to juice.
In a saucepan, add the figs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, water, and cinnamon stick.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce temperature to low and let it simmer for 50 minutes to an hour, until the liquid has evaporated.
Remove from heat, and remove the cinnamon stick.
If you want a chunky jam, press the fig with the back of a wooden spoon, but if you prefer a smooth texture use the blender or an immersion blender.
Notes
Use fresh fragrant figs for the best outcome.
This can be doubled.
You can use other extracts like orange, lemon or almond.
If you want a smoother jam use a blender or immersion blender, for a thicker just smash with wooden spoon.
This can be frozen, see my tips above.
You can serve this on a variety of things like toast, bagels, as an ice cream topping, with crackers and cheese, etc.
